[Bug] tcpreplay goes full speed after some time

[mikolajpod]

Hi.

I'm using the following command tcpreplay -i ens224 -p 4800 -l 0 file.pcap and at the begining the rate is as expected.

After some time (12-13 days) it starts to replay at full speed.

After stopping with ctrl-c (about 12 hours after going wild) it printed: Actual: 22192758064 packets (30315118877440 bytes) sent in 1113425.57 seconds Rated: 27226892.9 Bps, 217.81 Mbps, 19931.96 pps Flows: 2 flows, 0.00 fps, 1710129550895712 flow packets, 0 non-flow Statistics for network device: ens224         Successful packets:        22192758063         Failed packets:            0         Truncated packets:         0         Retried packets (ENOBUFS): 0         Retried packets (EAGAIN):  0

This requires moving from 32 to 64 byte counters which is more of a feature than a bug. Too much for 4.4.4.
